Landscape Award in the Marlborough Environment Awards 2008/09.

Judges comments.

"From the moment one drives through the entry to Hunter’s winery indigenous Wairau Plains dryland vegetation is evident.

The two hectare gardens are an outstanding and distinctive setting for the winery.

Interpretation panels and fact sheets describe the garden’s history and layout and the species used. Enticing walking tracks provide close-up encounters with the native vegetation.

Plants have been eco-sourced so are representative of the local gene pool. A feature is the purpose built, rare and threatened South Marlborough endemic species garden. Both native and exotic birds benefit from the sheltered habitat.

Intelligent placement of species to match the property’s various micro-climates ensures healthy plants and great presentation following the ‘Right Plant – Right Place” principle.

Winery wastewater is used for supplementary irrigation for the gardens. Exotic trees provide excellent shelter, shade and screening along with a mix of habitats.

Scattered sculptures and art works complement the varied texture, colour and form of vegetation. Buildings and other structures are in harmony with the gardens. Historic features have been retained and celebrated."
